  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize and applaud 
Katlyn Thiede for receiving the Arvada Chamber of Commerce Rising Star 
Award.
   Katlyn is a student at Arvada West High School and received this 
award because of her extraordinary skills in entrepreneurship, 
innovation, and community leadership. She is a member of the National 
Art Honors Society, owns her own photography business, and volunteers 
with Foothills Animal Shelter.
   The innovation and leadership demonstrated by Katlyn is exemplary of 
the type of achievement that can be attained with hard work and 
perseverance. She excels academically with a 4.33 GPA and is described 
by her teachers as kind, welcoming, determined, and one-of-a-kind.
   I extend my deepest congratulations to Katlyn Thiede for this well-
deserved recognition by the Arvada Chamber of Commerce. I have no doubt 
she will exhibit the same dedication and leadership in all of her 
future accomplishments.
